I just finished
, definitely very strange...I'd say it was a 2.5 to 3 star for me. I'm trying to decide what to read now, nothing is sounding good.

Well, I'm a familiar face in the YA section of the library and the librarian knows me and knows how much I read, so whenever she goes to events that give out ARCs she usually lets me read them.

Lucky you!!!
I Cant seem to find the Death Cure
in actual book form anywhere... frustrating! I am currently enthralled with The Knife Of Never Letting Go
hope it ends up being a group read soon because I have a lot to say!

I am currently enthralled with The Knife Of Never Letting Go [bookcover:The Knife..."In my other goodreads group there are tons of people who LOVE the Chaos Walking series. They rave about it. I have checked out the first book twice now and I can never get past the second page. But, I've promised them that I would give it five chapters before making up my mind. So, I will eventually give it another go. I hope it ends up being as good as everyone says. It sounds like it would be good for a group read.
What do you think of it??
As of right now I am still working on
( I like it, just haven't had much need to read on my phone lately) and am almost done with
. Also working on
(on my computer at work) and

I just finished
and loved it. I am still trying to get through
and having a really hard time with it. I just can't stand Amy and Elder so I keep putting it down and reading something else. Can't decide if I am going to start
or
next.

I really liked Entwined, but I admit it took a long time before it got really good.
I'm starting
today. Hoping it's gonna be AMAZING, haven't read a really good faerie book in a while.
I finished
last night. I almost put it down several times, but managed to make it to the end. I wasn't impressed.I'm about to get started on
. I've heard so many good things about the series, I'm excited to get into it.

I just finished Matched last night and started Crossed. I agree with most of the sentiments here that Matched was overhyped. It took about 120 pages to get into it (which is too much if you ask me!) but once I sat down with it for a chunk of time I appreciated it more for the romance than for the dystopian society. So far Crossed has a similar feel to a lot of book #2s: different, stark setting, a lot of movement/pursuit.
I'm almost done with
and I'm really loving it. I have started
and it's not too exciting yet, but I'm hoping it picks up. And yay!
is at the library, ready to pickup. So I probably start that later this week :)

It took me until about 1/2 way to get into it at all and then I pushed to finish it. I hear Crossed is better so I will try it out tbis weekend.
I Read the
chaos walking series last year. I have never read a series of books before that I loved and hated all at the same time. Parts made me cry and I mean snotty crying. Then before I knew it I was screaming with frustration. At one point I actually wanted to throw it up the wall. Only thing stopping me was I was reading in Kindle format lolI am now currently reading
Finished
and LOVED IT!!!Now I'm about halfway through
and so far I'm not too impressed. I hope it picks up...
Starting
. Really excited about this book. Love Laini Taylor's writing, so I hope this one is just as good as the others.

I haven't wanted to put it down yet! I imagine I'll have it done by tomorrow.

Oh good to know about Exceptional, that's on my list for a challenge in one of my groups!

If you have a Kindle (and only a Kindle) the author posted that it is free on Amazon for today and tomorrow I think.

I bought Exceptional too. I'm glad to hear it's a good one. the synopsis sounded really great. I'm excited to read it!
I'm 150 pages into
and it's great so far. I've really missed my Graceling friends :)
Totally off topic but this one is used the most and I'm so excited!! And disappointed :( I got a call to be an extra on the Vampire Diaries!! They film by Atlanta and they wanted me the 12th and 13th of this month but the fitting is this monday and there is no way it makes sense for me to drive down there just to try on clothes and drive back, then drive down there the next week. They said they usually have fittings a day or 2 before you work but they had to reschedule this one so they might call me back next time. I'm keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed!!!Sorry for the thread hijack :)

Finished
, I really liked the beginning, the middle was a little slow and then the end was strange. Sometimes I get really irritated with her obsession over finding her brother, but overall I gave it 4 stars (think I gave Wither 5).
